What are the best designer clownfish?

Daniel@R2R · Oct 28, 2019

I know some people don't like them (and prefer only the naturally occurring patterns), but I really do like the designer clownfish breeds.

Some of my favorites are the frostbite, wyoming white, lightning maroons, and panda clowns (I'm actually not sure I have the label right on this last one). Which ones have you kept? Which ones are your favorites?

I have always liked the Picasso’s and the Mocha and Orange Storms.

I like the black storms, and all of the long fin variants.

My Favorite is the black ice snowflake, frostbite, and wyoming white.

Black Storm and Phantom clownfish

I really like my Buckshot. Addisons quest onyx and Blackhawk Picasso's are probably next in line as far as favorites.

I think the ones I was thinking about that I called pandas are dalmatians.

Love my Dark Pheonix pair

I recently acquired a Picasso clown. Coolest little dude ever!

Black Ice Picasso. I've had a pair for 7 yrs and love them! They are very sweet beautiful fish. My sister had a maroon, and it was very aggressive! Towards other fish and her also!

Naked are my favourite. I've had this girl over 13 years. At the time they were pretty new and even black and white was exotic.

I also love lightning maroons and have a pair :

One type I don't have that I really like is black storm. I do have a pair of regular old ocellaris I bought for $10 or $15 each because they were so cute. A standard wild percula pair full grown rival any designer type imo.

In love with Extreme Grade Davinci. The little curve in their pattern looks like a wave and is so mesmerizing.

Both have neat patterns. Pandas are usually A.polymnus and Dalmatians are A. oscellaris. Of course, Sea & Reef has also had Reverse Dalmatians.

I love my Doni's reef Snowcasso (who is paired up with a SA flurry) and I also have a black storm who was pushed out of the trio when the other 2 started spawning. I've been contemplating pairing that one up with a bullet hole or a Wyoming white

I decided to go with Flurry for my nem tank. Frostbite/WY White cross I believe

I am going to pair my one that didn’t jump, with an all black if I decide to keep the nem tank up, but I’m currently finding keeping two tanks much less satisfying than I hoped
